Couples who are undergoing pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) in order to avoid transmission of inherited diseases, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy or cystic fibrosis, should also have their embryos screened for abnormal numbers of chromosomes at the same time, say Italian researchers.
Obese mice with a particular version of a gene strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in humans show increased Alzheimer's pathology, according to new research published in eNeuro.
Almost 6,000 new cases of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, or ALL, are expected to be diagnosed this year in the United States. The blood cancer can affect both children and adults.
A newly discovered mechanism behind reduced insulin production in type 2 diabetes is now being presented.
New research led by Queen’s University Belfast has discovered how a genomic approach to understanding bowel cancer could improve the prognosis and quality of life for patients.
As CRISPR-Cas9 starts to move into clinical trials, a new study has found that the gene-editing technology can introduce hundreds of unintended mutations into the genome.
A study led by the University of Birmingham has made a breakthrough in the understanding of how different genetic mutations cause acute myeloid leukaemia.
1-2% of the US population have psoriasis, an immune-mediated disease that causes red, patchy and scaly marks on the skin.
Opitz G/BBB (Opitz) syndrome is a hereditary disorder that affects people in different ways, causing malformations in medial (midline) organs and structures, intellectual disability and developmental disorders.
A new study shows that a variant in UBQLN4 gene has been associated with Lou Gehrig's disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study also describes how this gene variant disrupts a cellular process that drives motor neuron development. This new insight opens the door to potential treatment targets for…
Licensing agreement will expand Oxford Genetics growing bio-therapeutic discovery, design and development service business.
Genetic alterations that can be modulated by stress have been identified in children at high risk for bipolar disorder, according to a new study...
Understanding evolution is one of the cornerstones of biology - evolution is, in fact, the sole explanation for life's diversity on our planet. Based on the evolution of proteins, researchers may explain the emergence of new species and functions through genetic changes or how enzymes with novel functions might be…
A protein that typically helps keep cells organised and on task becomes a tumour suppressor in the face of liver cancer, scientists say.
Scientists have created an innovative technique for studying how chlamydia interacts with the human immune system...
